ALLY

"I bought this pinafore from a second-hand market, and was wearing it a few days later and a girl recognised me on the street because I’d bought them from her. Small world."

FLICK

“My mum saw this jacket on a billboard when they were road tripping around France and made my dad stop at stores for the rest of the trip trying to find it so she could buy it and bring it home for me. My parents are the best.”

Henry & Kevin

HENRY (left): “I lost this jacket interstate when I was out one night along with my wallet which was hiding in the pocket. Two weeks later I returned home and someone had mailed it back to my house. If you are reading this and recognise this jacket- cheers friend.”

KEVIN (right): “I was staying with my uncle who lives in Sweden and my last pair of shoes were on their way out. He offered me these boots to wear and they fit so well I ended up bringing them home and have been wearing them ever since”
